Giving ‘sound’ advice …

Sharing knowledge with clients, peers and students.

After completing his Engineering (Hons) in Mechatronics, from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, Arun Iyengar,
Founder of dBAcoustique discovered sound.

“A person does not hear sound only through the ears; he hears sound through every pore of his body. It permeates the entire being … ” Though these words of a Sufi teacher were proclaimed in a more spiritual context, they resonated deeply with Arun. He went on to do several acoustic-related courses, including:
• Acoustics for Engineers (University of Auckland)
• Acoustics and Noise Control (University of
Toronto)
• Introduction to Mechanical Vibration (IIT Roorkee)
• Principles of Vibration Control & Noise
Management and Control (IIT Kanpur)
• Architectural Acoustics (IIT Kharagpur)
Translating his learning into practical experience, Arun worked as an Acoustic Design Engineer in a couple of reputed firms. Here, he successfully managed acoustic projects right from the initial stages to testing and commissioning, including consulting on large office spaces, hotels, residential towers etc…

He has also designed spaces such as auditoriums, convention halls, lecture halls, etc. using Odeon and EASE acoustic simulation software.
